    Android Questions: My phone is scaring me!


    My phone is scaring me!

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 01:59 AM PDT

    Hey I'm not sure where to post this but my phone has been freaking me out. I've had it for about 1.5 months (Google pixel 4a, same number I've had for 6 years.) Everything was fine. I'm not sure when it started, but weird stuff has been happening. I've been getting a lot of calls from the same area code and if I answer nobody is there and if I don't answer they don't leave a voicemail.

    I was on a call with my mom and it said the call ended and before I could call her back, I was receiving a call from her and I answered it and she said her call never dropped and she definitely didn't call me again. Then after that call I tried to call my sister but my phone told me an app was using my microphone and I couldn't place the call (it didn't specify which app.)

    Then I'm on my phone just now doing something in a Google drive account and I got a Google alert that I'd added this random phone number to THREE of the emails I have on my phone.

    I've gotten about three emails from Instagram saying that a login was attempted. My Spotify forced me to change my password because it said something suspicious was happening.

    I've checked Instagram and Facebook and Gmail and everywhere for my recent logins or active sessions and they're all me.

    I just started deleting any apps that I'm unsure of but I'm really scared and don't know what else I can do. I really don't want to factory reset my phone because my passwords are so complicated but I guess I might have to do that.

    Any idea what's going on though?

    Problems with Facebook Messenger taking an eternity to load

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 12:52 PM PDT

    I don't know what happened but it seems like the past month or so Facebook Messenger will take several minutes to load every time I open it. Does anyone know how to fix the issue? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S9.

    How should I go about changing a rounded display to a rectangular display?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 12:16 PM PDT

    I copped a Samsung A10e and so far it's been pretty nice aside from one feature that irks me which is the rounded screen. It blocks a part of display on some games and makes the status bar look strange, especially with the camera dimple thing.

    Is there a good way to change this so that the parts of the screen which are rounded aren't displayed? (The screen on this phone is AMOLED so having those bars there while the rest of the screen is normal with navigation buttons, display, status bar, etc. wouldn't be an issue for me.) I'd rather have a rectangular display than a rounded display with rounded corners. It blocks parts of some apps, I just don't understand it. Any help is appreciated.

    TL;DR: I want to change my rounded corner display to show a smaller display that hides the rounded corners by not showing them.

    EDIT: I did some searches and found this post but I'd like some extra confirmation that this works. It says that you can use ADB commands (which I'm not familiar with but seem pretty easy to manage) and I'd like to ask also is this a good way to go about it? I know that the rounded screens are somewhat of a trivial feature bit it's more of a pet peeve. I don't understand why making the display un-uniform with a weird looking screen size does anything for anyone.

    My phone's vibration only works with vibrator apps.

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 11:39 AM PDT

    So today my Xiaomi mi a2 lite's vibration stopped out of nowhere, I didn't dropped the phone or damaged it in any way BUT when I tried using vibration apps the phone vibrates normally.

    I tried using safe mode, restarting the phone and switched vibration on and off in the settings but it still only works with vibration apps. How do fix this?

    apps I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vibrator.massage

    What is App Stack?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 10:18 AM PDT

    I recently noticed I was getting notifications for an app called App Stack. I just uninstalled it because I couldn't find any information on it. Does anyone know what it is? I presume it must have come preinstalled on my phone since I can't find it in the play store. I have a Motorola phone, and my plan is Boost.

    Edit: looking into it, the only thing I can find on it is that it's apparently part of the Sprint package

    How to move apps to sD card???

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:46 AM PDT

    Not every app can be moved to sd card according to my phone. And even worse - snapchat CAN but it says not enough space, while my sd card is 14GB free space. Any tricks to install apps directly on SD Card? Via USB maybe.

    Phone: M4 Aqua.

    Android: 6

    Wired or Wireless Multi Screen Share?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:37 AM PDT

    I have 3 Samsung Galaxy A7 Tablets in my car. 1 is mounted in the center of the dashboard and the other 2 are mounted behind the headrests for the passengers in the rear.

    I currently have a 5G, dual-band (2.4g / 5g) Wi-Fi router connected to a 5TB external SSD that contains several thousands of different movies, music videos and music which can all be accessed by the tablets to play directly from the external SSD or the tablets can each access live streaming apps like: YouTube TV, Hulu, Disney+ etc. All of the SSD files and live streaming apps work flawlessly with no lag nor loading / buffering times.

    Each tablet can be connected to the car's audio system via bluetooth and can also connect to the bluetooth headphones in the door closest to each tablet.

    I'd like to complete this project by being able to do the following:

    Using the tablet in the front, I want to be able to mirror the screen to both tablets in the rear simultaneously. If I want to watch a movie or music video from the car server's SSD, it will not only display on the front tablet but also on both rear tablets as well. If I want to watch live TV on YouTube TV or Hulu, I'd like all 3 screens to be able to display in sync.

    Is there an app for this type of feature?

    I'm not looking for something like teamviewer where I will lose video quality on the "slave" displays or even the "host" display. Screen stream doesn't really work properly as it creates an ip address / site the other devices connect to and the image is very small and quality is very poor. VLC HDR Remote doesn't work at all.

    If there is no app, what about something that can be hardwired?

    Would something like this work, but with data because I believe this is for charging only: http://www.walmart.com/ip/BRC-15cm-USB-Type-C-3-1-Male-to-Dual-USB-2-0-OTG-Charging-Cable-2-Port/885729813

    Android Auto vs High Refresh Rate Screens!

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:06 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Does anybody else have the following issue? For reference, I am running an OPPO Find X3 Pro on Android 11 (ColorOS 11.2).

    Whenever I connect my phone to my car, the screen refresh rate automatically drops to 60Hz.

    However, after disconnecting my phone from the car's USB, the option to have High Refresh Rate (120Hz) enabled is greyed out, and I am unable to select it. It only becomes an option again when I reset my phone completely.

    Is there a way of fixing it so that disconnecting from the car automatically closes Android Auto and re-enables High Refresh Rate?

    How do I customize notifications for Google/Gmail chat?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:02 AM PDT

    Apologies if this has already been asked; I searched the sub and couldn't find anything...

    Anyway, I recently made the switch from Hangouts to Google/Gmail chat, and the notifications are driving me crazy. In Hangouts, I was able to disable sounds and vibrations while still allowing the new message icon in the status bar. (I don't want my phone to buzz or chime every time I receive a message, I just want to see the icon in the status bar.)

    Within the Gmail app, however, the only notification option specific to chat seems to be on/off, all or nothing. I even set the Gmail notifications to silent (no sound or vibration) via Android settings, but my phone (stock Pixel 5) still buzzes and chimes whenever I get a message. Am I missing something easy, or is the chat integration still missing some basic functionality?

    Is it possible to disable opening apps within an app?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 07:52 AM PDT

    Let's say my friend sends me a link to Marktplaats (local trading website) through WhatsApp. Then Marktplaats opens within WhatsApp. I find it highly annoying because if I want to go back to WhatsApp, I have to leave Marktplaats. This would not be necessary if Marktplaats opened a new instance instead of within WhatsApp.

    Here is an example.

    I can't seem to find them anywhere and I need to flash stock Android(down from Android 12 DP). I don't want to do it from within 12, it needs to be a full and complete flash. I've tried several of the sites that come up on google with no luck.

    Not a question. Just wanted to share some productivity apps which I recently tried and found to be very useful

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 07:32 AM PDT

    1.Pinnit:- Helps you to remember stuff. Just type whatever you want to remember and it will be pinned in notification shade and you can't remove it by just swiping it. So everytime you take your smartphone out, you'll be reminded about whatever you typed.

    2.DigitalDetox :- An app that help you to cut down your smartphone usage. It completely locks your phone and you can't use it until the timer is complete. You can't uninstall or force stop the app while timer is going on. So no way to bypass the timer (the only way is by rebooting but hey restating the device isn't convenient)

    3.Intellect :- Self Improvement app that will help to fight Stress, Procrastination and all other stuff and it actually works but you have to use it regularly to get the results.

    4.Stuff :- Todo widget app. It's not always convenient to open app drawer and open a notes app to jot down things or tasks. Stuff is widget and, it'll add a fully functional todo list on the Home screen of your phone so that you can access it easily and the widget also looks very minimalistic.

    Gboard Dark Mode

    Posted: 23 Jun 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    Moto G10 / Android 11

    I'm looking to have my Gboard switch theme from light to dark, in-line with the Dark Mode schedule I have set up (at sunset / sunrise). However the System Auto setting doesn't seem to be working. As far as I can tell, this is because the theme labelled "Default" is exactly the same as "Default Dark", but I can't figure out how to change the default to a light colour, or have System Auto work?

    The three icons I have in the Gboard themes page are "System auto" / "Default" / "Default Dark" - all show a dark image. I don't have any themes in "My themes".

    [I have tried restarting the phone, clearing cache and data from Gboard, and uninstalling Gboard updates.]

    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Multi-Tablet Screen Mirroring For Car Entertainment System? 3 Devices Already Works Flawlessly Independently On The 5G Dual Band (2.4g / 5g) Wi-Fi 5TB External SSD Server - Need Screens To Display Simultaneously
